Northern Wastes Jihad-Squad - the speed and agility of these elves is frightening. Time will tell if they are able to recapture their title winning form after a season off. They are certainly a top contender, and with a 14 deep roster and money in the bank, they are poised for another run at the championship.
Permanent Plutocracy - The evil dwarves with deep pockets seem less like championship contenders and more like a potential stumbling block for someone else. They have talent, but their pre-season ranking may be a bit overstated as their team treasury overfloweth. They worked hard last season to skill up their frontline and have a new-found cohesion that may prove difficult for some teams to overcome. The thing they need the most is the one thing they won't get...a new coach.
Blud'n Gutz - although this hard hitting orc squad will open this season without their top thrower Ogen "Blud" Bawlchukka, Troll Gutz Grumblecraw swears "We will find da BLud somewherez else." BnG reminds this reporter of an avalanche waiting to fall.
Wasted Northerners - Several rookie linerats replaced RIPs from last season, however, the core of this finesse side remains intact. Emerging star gutter runner, Praying to the Porcelain God, should be fun to watch this season, he will be a primary receiver for Thrower Passed Out, and with or without the ball he will be targetted by the opposition. This team could go either way, winning big, or having a catstrophic match that may cripple them, either way, expect the coach to cuss like a sailor.
Dead Body Love Affair - They seem to have adopted a unique method of gaining experienced players, when asked about it, coach Kenty responded: "We find them, kill them, raise them from the dead. Sure, sure, they lose some of that elven agility (referring to the shambling forms of two wood elf acquistions) but they know the game." We shall see if this policy pays off, as some added assurance of a quick start, the team has hired Ramtut III for the first match.
Taste the Waste - This lizardman team just continues to quietly win games. With the amazing endurance of their cadre of skinks they tend to win big! But with 5 Sauri and a Krox they can pound it out with the bashiest teams as well. Capt. Fantasy has been working out with the Stallion and they make for intimidating Ogre-sized bookends.
Nightmare on Sesame St. - LurkingGrue finds himself in a tight spot with the muppets. Game 1 will be missing Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird. More importantly, long term, is that Snuffleupagus, who suffered a debilitating injury, has not been able to regain his strength, and his career is in question. Spokesman for the team has issued this proclamation, "Scaring children is easy, winning matches may not be." Pre-season, I would say this team has the longest road to travel in Season 4.
St. Louis Hams - This is a real tale of two teams. The Roster is heavy (15 players), the bank account is light. A well skilled group of blitzers supported by a somewhat underskilled group of Black orcs. Steven Jack-knife, who has become a casulty machine, proclaims "Da teem had better cause more casulties on the field or I will in the locker room." Their pre-season seeding at #8 was due solely to thier TR, I expect they will end the season ranked much higher. |

Season 4 has begun. You have a few extra days getting started, feel free to play whenever, but please be sure you get your games in before the deadline, or PM me a reason why you can't. 10 day rounds should give you plenty of time to play a single match.
I have also changed the scoring to include a -2 penalty for forfeit losses.
Let the games begin, and the blood flow!!!!! |

There may be some confusion as to what exactly Season 4 will entail. Here is what we will do:
1. all divisions will play each other team in their conference one time in round robin play. (note this means Fringe will play 2 extra matches)
2. The record in step 1 will decide and seed two 4-team KO tournaments, made up of the top 4 teams in the division and the bottom 4 teams in the division, respectively. (ie the top 2 teams from each conference) (fringe will have a tournament with the top 4 teams to decide who advances).
3. The tournament made up of the top division teams are competing for advancement and the respect of fellow coaches the world over, not to mention tons of opportunities with hot chicks, as well as cash prizes*.
4. The tournament made up of the bottom division teams are competing to avoid relegation and the derision of all the chicks. 
Let me know here or by PM if you have any comments, or thoughts.
*not to mention them because it isn't true. |

The all important first block of the season by a beastman on a human: two dice, one push back, one pow! = human down but armor holds.

Kicking season III of the NWL Premiere Conf. A off, the Necromantic beauties of Dead Body Love Affair battled the green-skinned St Louis Hams. DBLA went up 1-0 early in the first half, following in the wake of hired gun Ramtut III. The Hams held on firmly though, hampering the Necros at every turn. The match was tied up right at the end after a loose ball was scooped up by Thrower Marc Bludger and tossed half the field to the drug stregthened Blitzer, #76 Orlando Pain, who managed to shake off a few hangers ons to score on the last Hams turn.
Good game, though some confusion was had by all by the fact that there were two #84 Shaun McMurders running around on the pitch at the same time, one on each team. Both Shauns put up weak numbers with 3 blocks each though it seemed that both teams were trying to eliminate the others #84 with extreme prejudice.
Would the <i>REAL</i> Shaun McMurder please stand up?
Great game coached by Kenty, thank you for your good playing and better sportsmanship. See ya next season![url][/url] |

Ehem... As the newest sponsor of the N.W.L, I would just like to say a few words.
As you have all surely seen, Scumbbl Design has been called in to offer a prize to the team that wins the N.W.L premier division this season. The winner would get a new and specially designed team logo! <i>*waits for applause to die down*</i>
This is exciting times in the Northern Wastes indeed! And to just show a little sample of the kind of work that the winner can expect:

So lets see who of you guys want this the most!
Hopefully this will just be the first of many seasons that the N.W.L and Scumbbl Design work side by side. |
